This was the most unethical company I’ve had the misfortune of working with. We usually do our own taxes, but like many others this year, were estimating to owe a lot in taxes. We thought it’d be best to have them done by a professional as we had questions about my tuition, retirement tax forms, and what our tax rate should actually be. Robin Smith prepared our return. He quoted me $350 at our initial meeting. When I received the return he prepared, there were multiple inaccuracies, from silly things like spelling one of our names wrong to typing in schools we’ve never attended. He also put in a tax credit that my husband was not eligible for to get us a higher return. I asked him to remove this credit twice, which he did not. Because this started to seem pretty shady and I shouldn’t have had to ask him three times, we decided to go with someone else. Once I informed him of this, he changed the fee to $500 for a consultation per the last line of their “Tax Client Info Sheet” that they have you sign. This is basically the equivalent of a health history form in the medical field. Meanwhile, their Engagement Letter lists no costs or fees, even though this is recommended by the Colorado State Board of Accountancy which I now know in hindsight. While I was perfectly willing to pay him a reasonable amount for his time, Robin was insistent on this fee. This company will trap you into filing with them or paying a hefty fee. We chose their ridiculous fee over the possible future tax notice from the IRS.I’d never recommend anyone I know to this company. Little guy beware- they will take advantage of you whenever possible.

Our business, a 10-person design firm, has used Smith & Associates for over a decade. They provide great service and good counsel. Always have appreciated their availability to answer questions, and their online client portal is a great resource. Highly recommend.

Called to try to get a ballpark estimate for a tax return and the male accountant who did not offer his name although he was provided mine, snorted and sneered, Im like a car mechanic. I cant tell you unless I know what you got. How clever this young little boy accountant is. I have got 30 years on him but he talks to me like Im 15? Thats how to win customers over! Then he says hes going to charge $450 for simple state and federal tax returns. Taking my business to a place where people understand good customer service skills, respect their customers and their elders, and dont gouge people. Maybe they are good for family businesses or something, I dont know, but I found them rude, snarky, and unprofessional.
